Unless someone has a genuine need, no car should be bigger than this.

There is a genuine need for safety. Therefore this gadget is officially not a car.
However it would fit for most needs, and together with an appropriate speed limit in urban areas it is definitively an alternative to the monster trucks.

This is true, but I'm not sure that safety would be so much of an issue if everyone drove one.

Driving one of these on roads with SUVs driving alongside would be terrifying.

Completely agree.

Most of the safety problems associated with small cars have nothing to do with small cars so much as the presence of bigger cars, just as the safety problems associated with bicycles and pedestrians are due to the presence of any cars.

Yes. As soon as you do not walk but steer a vehicle, like scooter, bike or car/bus, you become a possible deadly threat to others.
